As a European, migrating to US is tough, so it's no surprise immigration from Europe is that low today. Obviously the biggest contributor today is Mexico , but the fact the Philippines arrive at the second place is surprising.China is only at the 4th rank.
- pkaye 11y agoI think the immigration flow is more related to economic opportunities in birth country along with proximity to the US so Europe is doing well as it is, China and India are improving considerably but Philipines is still struggling. Mexico is right at the border to the US.
- refurb 11y agoDon't forget that most of the immigration (focusing on permanent immigration - green cards) are awarded based on family reunification, not employment. Many green card categories are capped, family reunification is not (for close relatives). Data is a bit old (2011), but this says ~50K employment GCs and ~750K based on family ties.[1] [1]http://immigration.uschamber.com/uploads/sites/392/Summary%20Green%20Cards%20w%20FY11%20Tablev2.pdf http://immigration.uschamber.com/uploads/sites/392/Summary%2...
